Position of P Group-2
Because it has 2 valence electrons/ 2, S, 8, 2
Period-4
Because it has 4 shells/2,8,8,2
Position of Q Croup-17
Because it has 7 valence electrons/ 2, 8, 7
Period-3
Because it has 3 shells/...
The two elements X and Y will show same chemical properties because they have same number of valence electrons in group. They form positively charged ions by losing one electron
Mg, P, Cl, Ar.
Increase in atomic number means an increase in nuclear charge which tends to pull the electrons closer to the nucleus and reduces the size of the atom.
(i) Atomic radius decreases as we move from left to right in a period in the periodic table. Fluorine has the smallest atomic radius. As we move to neon in...
